SLEEPER
Petteri Koponen, Finland: During the past two years, the 2007 NBA draft pick
(traded from the 76ers to the Trail Blazers) has been the key component in
Finland's promotion to the A Division in Europe and fourth-place finish in
Group A.
The Finnisher impressed the Blazers in the NBA summer league and carried that
form into Eurobasket, to the tune of 12.8 points and 2.9 assists a game. The
20-year-old point guard, who plays for Virtus Bologna in Italy, is another
exciting young prospect for the Blazers' fans to look forward to.
Joel Freeland, Great Britain: Even British basketball fans were stunned when
the Portland Trail Blazers made the unknown forward a first-round draft pick
in 2006.
Fast-forward two years -- and an additional 25 pounds on Freeland's 6-foot-11
frame -- and it seemed the Blazers knew what they were doing.
After Freeland missed playing for the national team last year, Freeland stunned
Great Britain's coaches with his improvement, a reflection of the fact that
the 21-year-old took up basketball at the age of 16. Averages of 10 points and
5.6 boards in 19 minutes a game show his potential.
